GIOVEDÌ 8 SETTEMBRE 2016 Tempo di trials: A Chantilly ecco #Akihiro e #Toulifaut tra i 2 anni. A Doncaster Simple Verse torna alla vittoria nelle Park Hill..
Tra Francia ed Inghilterra giorni di trials e di avvicinamento. Per prima cosa, vi pubblichiamo il campo partenti ufficiale delle Irish Champion Stakes G1 di sabato pomeriggio alle 19,45 a Leopardstown. Meglio di così non poteva andare, dentro ci sono Minding, Harzand, Almanzor, Found, New Bay, Highland Reel, Hawksbill, Success Days, The Grey Gatsby, My Dream Boatetc.. tutti questi menzionati sono vincitori di G1! Un campo decisamente di prestigio. Cliccando QUI il campo partenti ufficiale con le monte.
A Doncaster procede il festival del St Leger e nella giornata di giovedì si è di nuovo rivista al palo Simple Verse (Duke Of Marmalade) proprio sul luogo che l’ha resa celebre lo scorso anno nell’ultima Classica per i 3 anni in Inghilterra. Ricorderete, la controversa vittoria nel St Leger prima tolta e poi di nuovo data in appello. Ebbene la cavalla della Qatar Racing/Sheikh Suhaim Al Thani/M Al Kubaisi allenata da Ralph Beckett, ha vinto le Park Hill Stakes G2 abbassando un pò il tiro rispetto a quello che aveva provato nel 2016, tornando alla vittoria dal 17 Ottobre 2015 ad Ascot nel Fillies e Mares G1. Dopo il rientro a Newmarket ed i flop nella Coronation Cup G1 e nelle Hardwicke G2, qui non ha avuto problemi per battere oneste performer da G3 come Pretty Perfect (Galileo) e California (Azamour), anche se quando sembrava tutto perduto si è dovuta industriare in corda per andare a prendere la seconda arrivata. Ora farà la Long Distance Cup G2 ad Ascot a metà Ottobre. IL VIDEO QUI.
Il successo è stato condito poi con il contorno delle May Hill G2 con la femmina Rich Legacy (Holy Roman Emperor), per lo stesso identico team e sempre con Oisin Murphy in sella, con una cavalla che aveva tentato le Prestige Stakes G2 a Goodwood dopo un successo al debutto. VIDEO QUI. La 2 anni allevata dal Gestut Ammerland, figlia di Borghesa (Galileo), era stata pagata €75,000 alle Arqana di Maggio. Possibile per lei il Marcel Boussac G1 il 2 Ottobre a Chantilly, o il Fillies Mile G1 del 7 Ottobre a Newmarket dove però dovrebbe essere supplementata. Molto probabilmente andrà in Francia, ed in tema di 2 anni ci allacciamo a quello che è successo oggi a Chantilly nella prima tornata di prove preparatorie in vista dell’Arc day.
Nel Prix de Chenes G3 in ottica Lagardere G1, ha mantenuto l’imbattibilità in 2 uscite Akihiro (Deep Impact), nella foto, da favorito. Si tratta din un cavallo fatto in casa Wertheimer & Frere che ha usato il fenomenale Deep Impact per una loro fattrice quale Baahama (Anabaa). VIDEO QUI. Montato da Maxime Guyon ci ha messo un pò a prendere l’azione, ma quando l’ha fatto ha travolto il suo avversario con ampie folate. Il tempo finale è stato di 1m 38.12s (slow by 2.12s), più basso di quello registrato da Toulifaut (Frankel) nel Prix d’Aumale G3, prova analoga per femmine, in ottica Marcel Boussac G1. Toulifaut, montata da Ioritz Mendizabal in maniera anche troppo scomposta, ha aggirato il gruppo dopo aver gestito dalle retrovie, ed è diventata la quarta stakes winner per l’eccezionale sin qui Frankel, ed è imbattuta in 3 uscite. Allenata da Jean Claude Rouget, ha battuto Normandel(Le Havre) sulla quale c’era Cristian Demuro. Il tempo finale è stato di 1m 40.95s (slow by 4.95s), ma indicativa la prestazione di una cavalla promettentissima che correrà il Boussac di certo. IL VIDEO QUI.
Simple Verse (gold cap) weaved her way to victory in the Park Hill Stakes

Simple Verse the star on Town Moor once again
Report: Doncaster, Thursday
DFS Park Hill Stakes (Group 2) 1m6f132y, 3yo+ fillies & mares
SIMPLE VERSE used every last drop of her stamina to reel in the gallant Pretty Perfect and follow up her win in the St Leger over course and distance 12 months ago.
In what was an intriguing contest to watch, the three-yeear-old Pretty Perfect, sent off a 13-2 chance, looked like she may have stolen it as she scampered clear – having been up at the sharp end of a brutal pace throughout – with Simple Verse struggling to find a passage through horses.

However 3-1 shot Simple Verse delivered a thrilling late surge to grab the Aidan O’Brien-trained filly on the line and provide trainer Ralph Beckett, jockey Osin Murphy and owner Qatar Racing with a Group 2 double following the earlier success of Rich Legacy in the May Hill Stakes.
It was California, under Frankie Dettori, who took third, five lengths adrift of the leading pair. The 5-2 favourite Abingdon could manage only fifth.
Murphy admitted he had been forced to ride for luck as the race did not pan out the way he had hoped and said: “Sometimes when they race up the rail, they just fall back into your lap so I had to be patient but I had a very willing partner.
“I’d have liked to have been following Abingdon but I was behind Pamona and I had to just ride for luck then.”

The jockey also praised Beckett and his staff for getting the four-year-old, off the track since disappointing in the Hardwicke Stakes at Royal Ascot in June, back to winning ways.
“Down at the start, I knew we had her back,” he said. “She was different to all year and fair play to Ralph and his team, they’ve done an unbelievable job with her.”
‘It didn’t look good’
A delighted Ralph Beckett admitted he feared the worst approaching the closing stages of the race as Simple Verse struggled to find room to deliver her challenge but the trainer is now eyeing a return to Ascot for Simple Verse, with the Group 2 Lond Distance Cup over two miles on the radar.
“I thought she was beat because she couldn’t get out and it didn’t look good at the half-furlong pole,” he said.
“It’s great to get her back as it hasn’t been easy. This is her optimum and possibly even two miles and I would be keen to go that way next time with the Long Distance Cup the obvious race for her.”
Paddy Power were impressed with the performance and slashed Simple Verse’s odds for the Ascot contest from 33-1 into 5-1. She won the Group 1 Fillies & Mares Stakes on British Champions Day last year.
Almost Perfect
Connections of Pretty Perfect were left thrilled with the effort of their filly, with Coolmore’s UK representative, Kevin Buckley, saying plenty of options are now open to the daughter of Galileo.
“She ran an absolute blinder,” he said. “We were going into the unknown, stepping up to a mile six and a strong headwind too. She was beaten by a Classic winner. Seamie was happy with her.
“This has opened up a few more avenues for her now. They will be discussed when we get her back home.”
Mizzou (red cap) had been a warm favourite for Friday’s race

Doncaster Cup shake-up with favourite Mizzou out
THE complexion of Friday’s Doncaster Cup was dramatically altered on Thursday evening when favourite Mizzou was declared a non-runner due to an abscess.
Off the track since finding only Order Of St George too good in the Gold Cup at Royal Ascot in June, Mizzou had been around 9-4 to add to his Sagaro Stakes victory in Friday’s Group 2 contest.

Trainer Luca Cumani had been optimistic about the chances ofMizzou but is now searching for other options, with the son of Galileo not likely to be sidelined for long.
He said: “It’s just an abscess, so it’s nothing serious, but it’s a real shame as he’s been training very well and we were very happy with him.”
Quest For More bids to prosper
Sky Bet responded to the withdrawal of Mizzou by making Quest For More their 7-2 favourite, with Clever Cookie and Clondaw Warrior next best at 4-1.
Quest For More heads to Doncaster having run out a smart winner of the Group 2 Lonsdale Cup at York most recently.
“He obviously has a preference for fast ground where possible and hopefully the rain stays away until after racing,” said trainer Roger Charlton.
“He came out of the Lonsdale Cup very well and clearly gets the trip very well, the extra two furlongs will suit him. We’re expecting another big run.”
